Many of us have the heart for change but lack the confidence to fly. Political activism can seem messy & this complexity often makes us feel uneasy discussing politics. That's why we are offering a social learning opportunity! The course is completely free and self-paced; you can commit as little as an hour a week for five weekly meetings.

What will I gain from this opportunity?

• Greater confidence as an activist, active member of my community, & Forwardist
• Knowledge of Citizen Politics, for example:
  • How does America's democracy differ from other similar countries?
  • What is the "duopoly", and is it really so ineffective/outdated?
  • Do social movements (like the Forward Party) ever work? What can we learn from those that succeed, and those that fail?
  • And many more interesting things on lobbyists, public opinion, and the media
• A sense of pride because you are an active lifelong learner who joins with your community to grow as a citizen

I've never done an online course. How can I prepare?

• First, know that we've worked really hard to create fun, interactive learning activities for any and all types of learners to participate together as a community
• If you'd like to review how some of the platforms we'll be using work, check out the following YouTube videos for:  Discord  |  Padlet  |  EdX

• Or, watch this complete walk-through video as Preston from NC-FWD shows participants what they can expect.
